Ubuntu
vlc package

where can I download the arm64 binary of the bionic vlc?

Asked by dhdurgee@verizon.net

I have a device running bionic on an armv8l system. Output from a few ssh terminal commands shows:

:/data/user/0/org.galexander.sshd/files $ uname -a
Linux localhost 5.4.86-ab1929 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 16 11:26:08 CST 2022 armv8l
:/data/user/0/org.galexander.sshd/files $ ldd /data/user/0/org.galexander.sshd/lib/libsftp-server.so
 libdl.so => /apex/com.android.runtime/lib/bionic/libdl.so (0xf3055000)
 libc.so => /apex/com.android.runtime/lib/bionic/libc.so (0xf2f93000)
 libm.so => /apex/com.android.runtime/lib/bionic/libm.so (0xf30c6000)
 libstdc++.so => /system/lib/libstdc++.so (0xf3082000)
:/data/user/0/org.galexander.sshd/files $

I want to install the appropriate vlc package to this system, but it lacks a package manager and one cannot easily be installed I will need to do so manually. I can locate the packages, for example:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/arm64/vlc-bin/download

But no download ensures and attempting to locate the binaries in the repository appears to not include the arm64 binaries.

Please let me know where I can download the arm64.deb files for the bionic vlc package.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Dave

It is a know weakness of packages.ubuntu.com that it provides direct links for downloading the packages only for amd64 and i386 architecture. The packages for other architectures are available on http://ports.ubuntu.com or from the launchpad page for vlc on Ubuntu https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc

Remark: Whatever operating system your device is running, even if you claim that it is "bionic", as long as it isn't Ubuntu with the apt package management system it is not supported here.
